there are some hacks to sort of get close to what I want

Well, if you’re going to be super-fussy about it… :-) …I’d probably say we aren’t out of good options with Notepad++ yet…maybe stay tuned…but I might say perhaps you aren’t using the right tool for the right job.

Everybody wants Notepad++ to be great at everything, but it’s really just great at its core duty: text editing. It isn’t great at searching…it isn’t great at log-file monitoring…it isn’t great at hex-editing…the list goes on and on.

For this specific example, probably something like glogg meets your need better than Notepad++…

Thanks for the tip! Inspired by this I created two new macros, both tied to the Move to Other View command; one is tied to ctrl+shift+alt+left, the other is tied to ctrl+shift+alt+right. Although they both do the same thing, it is easier and feels more natural to have the arrow key be the one that points in the direction I want the tab to go. [Note that this implies I have my views arranged left-right instead of over-under.]

Thanks, this worked. maybe the GUI setting could allow this in the future.

Done, Thanks for your help!

I’m familiar with regexp concept but never used them before.

Best regards,

As you know, I’m not much for shortening already published and working regexes here, but in this case I think it is worthwhile as it makes what is being done much clearer.

I answer to myself.

As Sebastias Proske told me, the solution is ‘to use a non-capturing group for mere grouping purpose, character class is the wrong tool here’.

Search: (^[—¿¡«]*?)(?:(á)|(é)|(í)|(ó)|(ú))
Replace: \1(?2Á)(?3É)(?4Í)(?5Ó)(?6Ú)

Example:

Before: —¿árbol ácido?
After: —¿Árbol ácido?

Regards!

Terry & Scott, Thanks again for the support & references to follow up…more food for thought.

Best wishes,

Unfortunately, that’s really what effectively needs to be done, when using the edit-then-launch workflow. You could try to automate the process (write a PythonScript which would save the current file, grab the filename, then search through other open documents, looking for a HTML file that links to that css filename, then launches that HTML). But, honestly, that seems like the hard way to me.

If it were my workflow, when I opened the HTML and the CSS, I would load the HTML into my browser. Then any time I save the HTML or CSS file, I would just hit the browser’s reload button to refresh what’s there.

No deprecated plugin list that I’ve heard of.

If you want to uninstall one that the Plugin Manager won’t let you (because of the won’t update), you can just go into the program directory, plugins subdirectory (and its hierarchy), and look for the associated DLL for a given plugin (normally pretty close to the plugin name, but without spaces). Assuming NPP is closed, you can just delete the DLL, and it will be uninstalled.

Thanks - I’ve raised 2 feature suggestions, both of which would be big UX improvements for me now that I have to use a standard account and an admin account.

I guess I should have mentioned that my standard user account cannot import a custom theme. It silently does nothing.

Also I’m not advocating that it should work one way or the other regarding where the themes go - it should cope with both. i.e. default themes should be available to all and not just be in the profile of the installing user when installed in non-portable mode. Any how check out the 2 tasks raised on the GitHub task list 24/09 by me between 9-10 am GMT, if interested.

Also anyone with the ability to do so - please reduce the 20 minute post delay. At the moment as a new user if you forget any details you have to wait 20 minutes to post again. If you’re working and posting then as is often the case you forget to come pack and add the detail till much later.

Apparently, my TI BASIC UDL was lost… so I created a new one this morning: gist:ti-basic-udl.xml

-----
For the curious:

keywords1 = commands keywords2 = TI EXTENDED BASIC commands keywords3 = statements keywords4 = TI EXTENDED BASIC statements keywords5 = functions keywords6 = TI EXTENDED BASIC functions keywords7 = subprograms keywords8 = TI EXTENDED BASIC subprograms

I’m not aware of such a plugin. What might be an option is to checkin the file to a local git repository and create a diff to see the changes and via blame (https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/inspecting-a-repository/git-blame) to see the change date of each line.

thank you very much.

Thank You PeterJones.

Eliminate the virus you can download the most recent notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/ to be able to install a clean copy your old settings were likely in %AppData%\Notepad++, so should still be visible (if you’re installing again on the same machine after it’s been thoroughly disinfected), or you can copy from the old machine to the new (assuming you are switching to a new machine; make sure your virus scanner has declared that whole directory “clean” before doing so) your old plugins were likely in the same directory as your notepad++ executable; if any are missing from your new installation, I would suggest re-installing them from scratch using the Plugin Manager, rather than copying them from the old installation, in case a DLL was infected and not fully cleaned your old files (what I assume you mean by “data”) – whether it be source code, or data files, or scratchpads, or whatever – are wherever you had saved them. Assuming they weren’t encrypted by a ransomware virus, or otherwise infected, you should just be able to find them wherever they were. If they were encrypted by ransomware, let’s hope you had a backup. (Backups are really your responsibility: there are features to help in Notepad++ “backup” preferences, but keeping and maintaining a safe backup set are beyond the scope of just notepad++.)

If this doesn’t answer your question, you will have to give more specifics, especially with how it relates to Notepad++, other than Notepad++ being what you happened to use to edit the text files.

This sort of begs the question: Why is the on/off control for this handled in such an odd way?
Why not have it be a View menu entry, just like Function List et al.?

Makes it rather awkward for scripting languages to have to have functions to support this handling. Ugh. Well, anyway, if someone wants the Pythonscript equivalent, here goes:

notepad.showDocSwitcher(not notepad.isDocSwitcherShown())

Not a difficult port! :-)

@George-karithanam

You say

I want to copy only the heading of the search result

But then in your

The result will be

section you show the heading AND the “details under”.

I think you’d better clarify your request before anyone attempts to help you.

Maybe there’s a hint here:

it find matching result from the sub folders as well

If you are merely trying to exclude subfolder results, you should untick the In all sub-folders checkbox before you do a Find in Files.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up figuring it out after talking to a co-worker that uses XML Spy. I put the XML and .xsd files in the same folder and it validated. We then found the issue with the file.
